Dear American Family Association - shut the f**k up

This post was written by thecommonraven and I am reposting it with permission.

for clarity's sake, the italicized part of this entry is propaganda crap from the American Family ASSociation. (bolded and capitalized part mine)


"Procter & Gamble has resumed using explicit, open-mouth homosexual kissing in their soap opera, “As the World Turns.” P&G decided to include this type of content as a commitment to “diversity.” P&G stopped showing such scenes some months ago, but has now decided to again help promote the homosexual agenda which includes homosexual marriage.

Gay activists are hopeful that the P&G effort will desensitize viewers to the homosexual lifestyle and help make the unhealthy and immoral lifestyle more acceptable to society, especially to children and youth.

View a scene from the April 23, 2008 episode by P&G. WARNING - content is repulsive!

“As the World Turns” is owned and controlled completely by P&G. No network made this decision. P&G alone made the decision to support the homosexual agenda.

The American Family Association has upped it's agenda against As The World Turns gay teen couple Luke and Noah. Because Procter and Gamble are spineless, the couple have mostly been taking the back burner and have been portrayed only as giving each other sly glances. Last week the two shared their 1st kiss in 6 months.

Also because Procter and Gamble are spineless, rather than standing behind their promise of portraying a legitimate gay couple onscreen, they have created a phone poll about whether the show should continue the storyline.

Please, even if you have never watched As The World Turns call the number: 1-800-331-3774. Press 1 for English/2 for Spanish [if you don't get this, don't worry, I didn't either]. Press 2 to get to that AtWT poll. Then press 1 to tell them you want the storyline to continue.

Please help me and others shove AFA's homophobia down their effing throats."

I have already called despite the fact that I dont watch soap operas if I can help it. I encourage you to do the same.

I honestly cannot believe this

This was posted in an anti-racism community that i frequent. The original article is rather long, and the more i read it the more shocked, angered and saddened i felt.

Critics Cost Muslim Educator Her Dream School

The basic gist is that this woman helped to start a school that was focussed on teaching Arabic, servicing the Arab-American population, and on global studies along with regular NY school district curriculum. She was thwarted by a bunch of xenophobic, hate mongering racist asses who used scare tactics and guilt by association to paint her as a Muslim extremist who would be teaching aspects of what they (who have very little applied knowledge on this subject) define as "radical Islam." Because she was unwilling to disavow her culture or her religion, she was demonized, hounded and eventually forced to resign. the school and the children attending it are still suffering and being subjected to ridiculous media attention and mishandling, as well as protestors. Thats right, protestors, at a middle school. Its beginning to remind me of pictures, video and editorials from the desegregation era.

i cannot be terribly eloquent at the moment as I am still reeling from the jack-assery that this woman was subjected to.

this cant be my country, these cant be people who are in any way reasonable, I do not recognize these people as my countrymen/women. To quote one of my favorite righteous babes: "These are not my laws, these are not my rules"
